per Dodd:
This season -- this week -- may have changed college football protocol forever. Five schools go into the halfway point of the season with an interim coach, someone other than who began the season. That group includes Steve Spurrier, who abruptly resigned at South Carolina on Tuesday.
In a wild 30-hour period, USC's Steve Sarkisian was put on leave, then fired. That was followed by Spurrier's resignation. Their stories don't exactly sync up, but it's clear patience is as scarce these days as coaching security.
Maryland's Randy Edsall wasn't given the common courtesy of being the first to know he would be fired. Word leaked last week. North Texas' Dan McCarney was run out after losing to an FCS team (Portland State), four months after being extended.
